Who in their right mind would provoke a 'known entitiy' and not expect the
'known result'--isn't that the very definition of insanity?
I'm all for a debate about the scalability of transgressions, if you wanna go
down that road. That said, an injustice is an injustice. The response to the
injustice whould definitly be 'scalable'--a person doing 61 kph in a 60 zone
should not face the same judicial punishment as a serial killer. That said,
both people still broke the law. We may take the speeder 'less seriously' than
the serial killer, and I'm all for that. However, that does not give the
speeder a 'bye' from the law. Nor, in our particular case, should someone who
maliciously provokes Eric be given a 'bye' because of how you rate the
seriousness. It is a toy forum. In the grande scheme of 'life' it really isn't
even a drop of water in teh ocean. However, the second we allow one injustice a
'bye', what's to stop others? Someone could do someting even more 'bad' here on
LUGNET, and, if we protest, they could say, 'Well, that thing with Eric!..."
I'm jsut saying...

My 'harping' is merely to point out the falicious arguements of, well, you and
others. If you didn't make the falicious arguements, I wouldn't be 'harping'.

I don't take any of this seriously. Trust me--I'm in no way losing any sleep
over it nor is it negatively impacting on my lifestyle. I am a person, however,
who refuses to 'drive by' and ignore an injustice. The images may be fixed, the
explanations may be given, and the LUGNET community will go on--no worries...
So there you are :)
